Corvette is a triumph of design and engineering. But Chevrolet didn’t stop there. With advanced technologies, a race-proven bloodline and a supercharged engine, the all-new 2015 Z06 is a world-class supercar.

At the intersection of Le Mans and the Autobahn sits the best of American automotive design and engineering — the all-new 2015 Corvette Z06. This world-class supercar is the closest link yet between Corvettes built for racing and the road. Z06 is engineered to be lightweight and rigid with an aluminum space frame, carbon-fiber hood and removable carbon-fiber roof panel. It was also designed to be powerful, with a supercharged 6.2L aluminum V8 engine delivering 650 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque.

The 2015 Corvette Z06 is the industry’s only supercar to achieve 650 horsepower and offer a choice of two transmissions – a 7-speed manual or an all-new 8-speed paddle-shift automatic – as well as a choice between coupe and convertible. The driver-centric Z06 elevates the experience even further with technologies like a Driver Mode Selector, which allows for customization of vehicle performance dynamics with the turn of a knob. And Corvette owners can relive their drives on or off the track with the available industry-exclusive Performance Data Recorder, which records high-definition video with telemetry overlays on playback.

Z06 was created alongside the C7.R race car and shares many of the same racing technologies.

TRACK, MEET STREET

C7.R Race Car

Dominant on legendary racetracks around the world, Corvette was the most-awarded racing nameplate in the American Le Mans Series and a seven-time winner at 24 Hours of Le Mans. The next generation C7.R race car debuted this season in the new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship series. The C7.R and the 2015 Corvette Z06 share unprecedented levels of engineering and components including chassis architecture, engine technologies and aerodynamic strategies.

Corvette Z06

The all-new Z06 is the best example yet of the technology transfer between racing and production Corvettes. First, engineers took what they learned on the Corvette Racing C6.R and applied that knowledge to the 2014 Corvette Stingray. Then, using the Stingray as a foundation, the Z06 and C7.R were co-developed to push the envelope of performance on the street and the track.

MASTER THE MACHINE: PERFORMANCE DATA RECORDER

Capture the excitement

Record, share and analyze your driving experiences on and off the track with the available industry-exclusive Performance Data Recorder. Add an extra dimension to your drive by logging video of your drives, along with real-time performance data, onto an SD memory card stored in the glove box. Four modes — Track, Performance, Sport and Touring — allow you to capture video, audio, driving stats, date and time, and a lot more. You can even capture video and data when someone else is driving the car with Valet Mode, giving you extra peace of mind.

Analyze your technique

Data is captured using a seamlessly integrated, windshield-mounted HD camera module, as well as a performance processor, internal accelerometers and GPS system. Then play your video back on a computer, or relive your drive right inside Stingray (when stopped, of course) on the 8-inch diagonal touch-screen. You can even analyze your driving technique using Cosworth Toolbox software that is similar to the analysis software used by Corvette Racing.

Convertible

The 2015 Z06 is the first 650 horsepower supercar to be made available in both coupe and convertible, as well as automatic or manual transmission. Like its Stingray cousin, the Corvette Z06 convertible is built on the same rigid aluminum frame structure as the coupe version. Designed from the start to be an open-top vehicle, no additional reinforcements were required. The convertible design mimics the coupe roof to reduce drag, while increased downforce keeps the vehicle planted. Efficient airflow helps control temperatures and improves vehicle handling, all making Z06 a true track machine, even with the top down.

Open it up

The inaugural Z06 convertible features an all-new fully electronic drop-top that can be lowered remotely using the key fob or even while driving at speeds up to 30 mph – with innovative hands-free latching. With the top up, a thick three-ply design ensures maximum sound absorption for a quiet cabin. And when you decide to put the top down, it hides beneath a body-colored tonneau cover, flowing down in a waterfall design between the seats.

Z06 with the Z07 Package features a tunable rear wing with the clear wickerbill insert.

Corvette Z06 is 80 mm wider in the rear and 56 mm wider in the front than Stingray.

AERODYNAMICALLY ADVANTAGED

A functional evolution in downforce

Virtually every exterior change on the 2015 Corvette Z06 serves a functional purpose. Wider flared fenders accommodate larger, wider wheels and tires for more grip than Stingray. Larger vents provide more air to the engine, brakes, transmission and differential for increased track capability. And the aerodynamic package generates incredible downforce for cornering grip and stability. The rear has been widened by 80 mm and the front by 56 mm, creating a more aggressive stance and enhanced handling. For even more grip, Z06 comes standard with larger Michelin® summer-only Pilot® Super Sport ZP tires†.

Cooling air flow

Its exterior design also reflects the increased cooling Z06 needs to maximize performance. A unique mesh grille features dedicated brake-cooling intakes and wider grille outlets, as well as a larger hood vent, which not only vents hot air from the engine compartment, but also contributes to downforce. Additional cooling elements include larger front fender vents and unique air blades over the inlets on the rear fenders, standard front and rear brake-cooling ducts, as well as larger rear-fascia openings.

Z06 Aero Package – Level One

The standard Z06 features a front splitter, spats around the front wheel openings, a unique carbon-fiber hood with a larger vent, and a rear spoiler from the Corvette Stingray’s available Z51 Performance Package.

Z06 Carbon-Fiber Aero Package – Level Two

An available Carbon-Fiber Aero Package (in either black or a visible carbon-fiber finish) adds a carbon-fiber front splitter with aviation-style end plates, carbon-fiber rocker panels, and a larger rear spoiler with a fixed wickerbill – a small, vertical tab at the edge of the spoiler that significantly increases downforce.

Z07 Performance Package – Level Three

The available Z07 Package includes the carbon-fiber rocker panels from level two Carbon-Fiber Aero package, adds even larger end plates to the front splitter, as well as with an adjustable, transparent wickerbill on the rear spoiler for track use. With this package, the Corvette Z06 delivers the most aerodynamic downforce of any production car that GM has ever tested. In addition to the aerodynamic elements, the Z07 Package also includes Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup 2 ZP summer-only tires†, Brembo® carbon ceramic brakes.

Removable roof panel

The 2015 Corvette Z06 features a carbon-fiber hood and, for the first time ever, a removable carbon-fiber roof panel. The use of carbon fiber strips away weight, lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity and maintaining optimal weight distribution for precise handling.

Corvette Z06 features a functional carbon-fiber hood with a larger vent to enhance airflow and cooling.

Choice of transmissions

The 2015 Corvette Z06 is the only supercar that delivers 650 horsepower and offers the choice of a 7-speed manual or an all-new available track-certified 8-speed paddle-shift automatic. The standard 7-speed with Active Rev Matching enhances the driving experience by simulating heel-toe shifting perfection at the touch of a switch. The available 8-speed paddle-shift offers the smooth control of a true automatic but with quick, precise shifts and manual mode for track driving. The 8-speed automatic delivers performance on par with dual-clutch designs, but without sacrificing performance.

An intuitive driving experience

The turn of a dial changes everything. With the Driver Mode Selector, you can fine-tune your driving experience with five distinct, selectable driver modes: Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track. Each mode electronically calibrates up to 12 performance variables to customize and optimize the Corvette Z06 supercar for any road.

Three of the dozen performance variables that the Driver Mode Selector can adjust are Magnetic Selective Ride Control, Performance Traction Management (PTM) and Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD). Standard Magnetic Ride technology adapts every 10-15 milliseconds, stiffening the suspension for performance driving without sacrificing a smooth ride. Available in Track Mode, PTM offers five settings of torque reduction and brake intervention for track driving.

Standard on Z06, eLSD makes the most of the torque split between the rear wheels. The system, which becomes more aggressive in Sport and Track modes, is designed to improve stability and responsiveness. eLSD also features a hydraulically actuated clutch that can infinitely vary clutch engagement and respond from open to full engagement in mere tenths of a second in order to improve steering feel, handling balance and traction.

COMFORTABLY IN CONTROL

Driver-centric interior

Inside, the Corvette Z06 is distinguished from the Stingray with unique color schemes that emphasize the driver-focused cockpit, as well as a unique, flat-bottom steering wheel. Like the Stingray, the Z06 offers two seating choices: a GT seat for all-around support and comfort, and a Competition Sport seat with more aggressive side bolstering, which provides greater support on the track. The frame structure for both seats is made of magnesium, for greater strength and less weight than comparable steel frames. They’re also more rigid, contributing to the enhanced feeling of support during performance driving. And all models feature a fully wrapped interior, with every surface covered with premium, soft-touch materials, including available Napa leather, aluminum, carbon fiber and sueded microfiber.

Honor the craft

Performance driving is experienced from the interior, so perfection is critical. Every line, every stitch and every accent must honor craftsmanship —and serve the driver.
